chris hayes. one of the two republican members of the january six committee just offered a stark, personal warning about the threat of political violence in this country. a topic he knows a thing or two about. this threat that came in was mailed to my house. we got it a couple of days ago. it threatens to execute me, as well as my wife and five month old child. i have never seen or had anything like that. there are people, there is violence in the future. i m going to tell, you until we get a grip on telling people the truth, we cannot expect any differently. that is adam kinzinger, illinois. he has been in congress for more than a decade. the vast majority of that time he has acted and voted like a conservative republican, which is what he is. he voted in line with donald trump s position, 90% of the time. but after the attempted coup on january six, kings inner was one of ten republicans who voted to impeach trump. and since then he has been essentially ex communicated
